Human resources expert, Madelein Smit from HR Company Solutions attributes this difference to businesses' scepticism of hiring females, general discrimination and the perception that women don’t have the capacity to make decisions in senior positions.
In a bid to curb the unemployment rate in the country and to make sure that there are equal opportunities for women, in August 2019, HR Company Solutions will host and assist women in finding jobs through a job workshop. The workshop will be focused on female job-seekers across Gauteng.
This session also aims to further provide the candidates with basic leadership skills, knowledge and behaviour to perform in their position on par with the male counterparts.
Smit says “We are experts in the recruitment field, we know why most job-seekers are not able to find a job. This workshop is there to ensure they are well-equipped in their quest of finding a job because, in all honesty, there are a lot of job opportunities in the market. There is a shortage of candidates that understand the basics of what employers want.”
This free workshop is not just about teaching and giving skills to job-seekers, it will bring employers and potential employees together under the same roof. There will be job interviews and hiring successful candidates on the spot.
The workshop will have various sessions, which will include:
The event will be held on 9 August 2019, from 9am till 4pm in Benoni Lake Club. The workshop is free to attend but space is limited. Those interested in attending can contact az.oc.fcdeht@etolrahc.
